Many families in the settlements live in shelters that they have built themselves. They are not protected from the sun and the rain and have no security. Credit: OCHA

Aid and development organizations are supporting the Somali Government in planning one of the largest relocation initiatives of displaced people. Families living in the settlements who choose to remain in Mogadishu will be relocated to the outskirts of the city where they will have better access to shelter and social services. Credit: OCHA

Three sites in the outskirts of the city have been identified for the relocation, including Daynile, where aid organizations that are already providing assistance are working with the Government and other partners to improve services. Credit: OCHA

Improved security at the new sites, especially for women and girls, will be a crucial part of the relocation plan. It is hoped that the establishment of police posts and mobile policing will help to improve the situation. Credit: OCHA
